Nardil would have been it,but the formulation change just doesent do it for me.
I think the hope remains,with either maoi,is augmentation,the best way to do this is to keep information moving everytime someone attempts this,i.e the pros and cons of the additional drug.
Until something new comes along,i spent 9 years searching.SSris are simply not for me,for the people it helps i envy them and wish them continued success,but the docs put so much pressure on me to go back i have to remeber the bag under my bed with half full srris of every kind and the damage in my life,i can say i had zero remission on a single one,so for me i simply dont know where to go either from one of the few maois but augmentation.
I guess this is just a I UNDERSTAND kinda of post.
